Level 1 Walkthrough: Dalton's Dinos
Join the torn note for 9216, fix the theater fuse, flip three exhibit switches, get the dino flashlight at Dilo Dash, then open the gift shop basement with 1903. The level ends when the Brontosaurus breaks into the gift shop and you run down through the basement into the caverns.
1. Car, payphone and the reception code
Puzzle menu- Leave the broken-down car and use the payphone by the entrance. After the call, go inside.
- In the reception hall, head left to the Allosaurus skeleton. Climb the rocky platform and take the note half from its hand.
- Take the other half from the base of the Brontosaurus skeleton on the right side of the hall. The halves join into the code.
- Enter it on the employees-only keypad by the box office: 9216 (one guide entered 3929; if yours differs, use the number on your note)
- Take the token from the counter inside and use it to get into the theater.
2. Theater: fuse and projector
Puzzle menu- When the pre-show shuts down, go through the No Entry door beside the stage.
- Climb the crates on the left, sprint-jump over the cage, then take the stairs to the projection room.
- Take the fuse from the table and put it in the fuse box. Press the button as the marker hits the target three times to fill the green lights. A mistimed press just shorts it; wait for the marker to come round.
- Press the projector’s red button to restart the show, go back to the theater and wait for the film to end. The gate on the left opens to the exhibits.
3. Exhibits: three switches and the control room
Puzzle menu- Climb the long-necked dinosaur on the right and jump up at the end. Go right over the crates and under the pipes, cross the tree platforms and drop through the opening.
- Enter the control room by the watering hole and take Stella’s call. Pick up the headset so she can talk while you move.
- Switch 1: climb the dinosaur display to the right of the control room to the switch, then use the ladder to get down.
- Switch 2: climb the right-hand stage to its first balcony, turn round and swing across the branches.
- Switch 3: climb the display beside the control room on the other side.
- Back in the control room, pull the main lever to open the gate.
Next room: the floor is electrified. Stay on the raised ledges and yellow pipes; touching the ground kills you.
4. The Dilo Dash flashlight
Puzzle menu- Climb the pillars in the next exhibit and look right for more pillars to continue.
- Take the token from the open box at the end of the raised route.
- Redeem it at the purple Dilo Dash counter for the dinosaur flashlight. You need it in the basement later, so get it before entering the dark attraction.
5. The missing meteor button
Puzzle menu- After Dilo Dash the exit is blocked. Use the display box on the left to climb to the platforms above.
- Jump onto one of the moving dinosaur dummies and ride it across. Drop off on the far platform and take the button from the crates.
- Go back to the console in the dark room, fit the button and press it. A meteor smashes through the exhibit.
- Move fast: go through the hole it made, slide under the dinosaur, climb the pillars and platforms, circle the exhibit and slide under the pipes into the opening.
- Take the ladder down, cross the yellow pipes and squeeze through to the vent. It drops you near the gift shop.
6. Gift shop, VHS tape and the basement
Puzzle menu- Cross the gift shop to the office. Watch the VHS tape and talk to Stella.
- Leave the office, go right, then left to the basement door: 1903
- Use the flashlight downstairs. Take the three fuses: straight ahead, further back on the left, and one more left turn.
- Back upstairs, fit them into the fuse boxes on the three pillars: by the office, by the toys and by the arcade. The mascot starts following you; loop round the shelves to get distance before each timing repair.
- Go into the arcade, turn left at the end and crawl through the vent to the rafters. Cross the beams and bars and connect the power on top of all three pillars. An amber detour branches off to a round platform up here.
- The vent at the end returns you to the office. Talk to Stella.
7. The first Brontosaurus
Puzzle menu- The Brontosaurus is now in the shop. Go to each pillar and hold the interaction to switch its floodlight on. Tapping and running does not count.
- Walk rather than sprint between pillars, and move when there is space instead of pushing past its body.
- With all three lights on, head for the exit to the right of the office. When the Bronto smashes it, turn round and run back to the basement.
- Keep running down through the basement and over the platforms into the caverns. Level complete: Welcome to the Underground.
Quick answers
Where is the second note half in Level 1?
At the base of the Brontosaurus skeleton on the right side of the reception hall. The first half is on the Allosaurus skeleton’s hand, reached from the rocks.
How do I get the flashlight?
Find the token in the open box on the raised route after the electrified floor, then redeem it at the purple Dilo Dash counter.
The theater door will not open after the fuse. Why?
You also have to press the projector’s red button to restart the pre-show. The exit opens after the film ends.
How do I beat the gift shop Brontosaurus?
Power all three floodlights (fuses below, plugs above, then hold each pillar switch). When the Bronto blocks the glass doors, turn back and run down into the basement.
